2. The assembly as in claim 1, wherein the assembly is a portion of a vehicle interior.

3. The assembly as in claim 1, wherein the device is a light emitting diode (LED).

4. The assembly as in claim 1, wherein the non-moveable switch is a capacitive sensor integrated with a printed circuit board.

5. The assembly as in claim 1, wherein the three dimensional shape of the three dimensional icon is a laser drawn three dimensional image within the rearward facing surface of the polycarbonate substrate layer located above the non-moveable switch.

6. The assembly as in claim 1, wherein the non-moveable switch is integrated with a printed circuit board and the device for illuminating is provided by side firing light emitting diodes (LEDS).

7. The assembly as in claim 1, wherein the non-moveable switch is a printed touch sensor integrated into a flexible film located on the forward facing surface of the polycarbonate substrate layer that is disposed adjacent to the layer of polyurethane.

8. The assembly as in claim 7, wherein the flexible film is injection molded with the polycarbonate substrate layer.

9. The assembly as in claim 1, wherein an area below the three dimensional shape of the three dimensional icon is filled with a clear material.

10. The assembly as in claim 9, wherein the non-moveable switch is a capacitive touch pad located behind the three dimensional icon.

12. The assembly as in claim 11, wherein the non-moveable switch is formed from a clear conductor that is located on a top of the icon sub-assembly.

13. The assembly as in claim 11, wherein the non-moveable switch is a sensor ring located about a periphery of the icon sub-assembly.

14. The assembly as in claim 11, wherein the icon sub-assembly has a frame that surrounds the device for illuminating.

15. The assembly as in claim 14, wherein the frame includes a flange portion that engages a rearward facing side of the polycarbonate substrate layer about a periphery of the opening in the polycarbonate substrate layer that the icon sub-assembly is inserted into.

16. The assembly as in claim 14, wherein a flange is located between end portions of the frame and the flange engages a forward facing surface of the polycarbonate substrate layer located adjacent to the layer of polyurethane.

17. The assembly as in claim 14, wherein the frame is formed from a polycarbonate material.

18. The assembly as in claim 17, wherein the frame is opaque.
